請賜予我神奇的說服力!
是誰掌握了世界最偉大的力量?是誰能夠實現偉大的夢想?
要成功,甚至生存,決定於一個要素:說服力
成功或失敗,碰碰運氣?!

多年來,許多行銷人員、廣告人員以及其他人訴諸情緒反應來成就事業。但是這種方式有時成功、有時失敗。現在你有讓自己的說服力大增。你越了解大腦處理訊息的方式,就越能夠與他人進行良好的溝通,而不是以違反大腦本能的方式來與他人溝通。

在說服的過程中,有些要素有其功效,但是卻不知道為何有效以及它們如何發揮效用。本書的研究,讓我們獲得以經驗為基礎的資訊。所有的揣摩、推測以及原理都是根據觀察與推斷而來。我們創造出來的訓練計畫成效達到了合理的水準。但是我們仍舊沒有真正探討到真正的核心。

本書不是探討大腦的運作過程與說服力。而是?讀者如何應用新獲得的知識。能真正協助讀者更成功地讓他人說出「好的」、「是的」、「沒問題」等重要字眼。本書作者為的就是讓您不僅能夠獲得突破性的資訊,而且更提供您一套完整的系統與過程,讓您可以獲得您想要的結果,讓您成功獲得他人的贊同,讓他人順應您的要求。

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Great work lives inside all of us.

The question is: Do we make the contributions we're capable of? Is our best work getting out there? Breaking through? Creating a difference the world loves?

We've long been told our ability to succeed depends on our IQ, talent, education level, gender, job title, or when and where we were born. Great Work turns that conventional thinking on its head to reveal that innovation can come from anyone, anywhere.

Especially you.

With insights from the largest-ever study of award-winning work, Great Work reveals five practical skills that will help you ideate, innovate, and deliver work that gets noticed and appreciated.

Great Work is filled with stories of real people in real jobs who did what was asked and then added something extra--a personal touch all their own--to deliver better-than-asked-for results. Their stories will inspire you to write your own page in the book of human progress.
